I was pretty happy with MacDonald's play yesterday, with that said I think management has absolutely no confidence in Taylor or Irving.. It looks like they are going to ride out MacDonald until Kipper comes back. It is a bit of a risk but I guess Hartley sees every game as a must win right now and MacDonald is the goalie they have the most trust in.

It's an even bigger risk when you consider how MacDonald's been run the last two games.

At least the Baertschi - Cervenka - Hudler line should be exciting offensively even if they're suspect defensively.

Yotes fan coming in peace. Just wondering if any of you guys had a good link to the game tonight? My station decided that Phoenix needed to watch the Suns get destroyed by the Spurs, and I refuse to do radio.

I'll keep an eye out on this thread if any of you will be so friendly to help me out.

Here is to a good, injury free game.

BTW, I love this GDT and the Simpsons mix into it. Good job on whoever came up with the idea!

Edit: Never mind, I got my channel going. Again, here is to a good game!

I'd love the Flames to win, but is it bad that a little part of me wishes that we lose to get MacKinnon? Stajan can't be our #1 Center forever.

With the top ten this year boasting an incredible level of talent, it'd be shame if the Flames missed out, especially since it's not like they have a real shot at winning anything of significance. Finishing 14th would be a big blow and an absolute waste of a season.

On the other hand, a win tonight will bring us 2 points out of the playoffs.. I really don't like being in the middle pack.

That's more the result of the fake parity created by the 3 point system, as opposed to an actual indication of the Flames performance thus far or their chances going forward. Unfortunately, the Flames aren't bad enough to be written off entirely. Add in this false parity and they'll always be just a couple of points out of the playoffs but never quite good enough to take a spot. That's exactly what's happened to the team the last three years and because the owners and Feaster see the team just a couple of wins away from a playoff berth, they've never seen the incentive to make the necessary changes. The organization simply can't afford to let that happen for a fourth time.
